It was given to him in Montgomery, Alabama, by a friend, Philip Henson, for self defense when he was threatened with mob action for questioning secession. At least that was the claim (excuse me for using a dirty name) of the late Rick Stelnick in his unpublished manuscript, Dixie Reckoning, p. 69, in the version I have. I believe that one can get a copy as a PDF, but that may no longer be true. (07-31-2018 06:36 AM)Gene C Wrote: It's still available. I do not have the book, but I was able to find this in the Kindle version on Amazon: Henson says: "John Wilkes, you may march to a different drummer, but you can’t expect other folks to march with you too. If I were you, I would carry a gun like this on your person, just in case something like tonight comes up. It’s a single shot pocket pistol made by Henry Deringer of Philadelphia. Only weighs eight ounces and is six inches long with a two and a half inch barrel. Fires a .41 caliber lead ball. They’re sold in matching pairs. I have another just like it. Here, take it, its yours." |
